Update: Geneva water main repair did not hold

GENEVA– While Route 25 was reopened this afternoon after a water main break the repair did not hold, Geneva officials stated in a release.

Public Works crews returned to resume work on Route 25 north of State Street.

The same lane closure as detailed earlier will be in place for the next several hours: the southbound lane of Bennett Street/Route 25 from State Street/Route 38 to Wall Street on the city’s east side.

Officials anticipate the full roadway will be reopened this evening, the release stated.

Southbound traffic is being shifted into the turn lane, but motorists should expect delays and may want to seek alternate routes.
